I gave my chickens some grass this morning and I didnt know that hubby had sprayed it with round uo - I got home about 6 hours later to find the grass gone - they love it and ate it all - and all 7 of my hens were in their coop ( which they never go into except to lay eggs) all huddled in a...
I have 5 or 6 pullets laying - 2 lay white eggs (my light brown leghorn and my phoenix) and the rest lay brown eggs ( my barred plymouth rocks).
I have gotten 3 double yolk brown eggs on 3 separate days in the last week.
My question is...Is it probably the same chicken? Are some chickens more...
since I got my chicks EVERYONE wants some lol i know at least 7 or 8 people that are going to start in the spring
Little do they know... It's ADDICTING
Turned out it was a double yolker - only took the 1 egg to make a sandwich and yummy!!!!
Im proud of my girls they have only been laying a few weeks
Anyone ever seen anything more than a double yolk?
My girls avoid their sweet little nest boxes I so lovingly fixed :o They have been laying their eggs in the hay on the floor of their coop....so I took the boxes out last night and they have made 3 nests in the floor. Is this normal????
Just got back from my cruise and I found not 1 but TWO eggs!!!!
It's about time!!!!! 23 weeks old today - I was worried I was gonna have to send em to KFC!!
It's definitely a SHE!!!! I watched her lay an egg lol
So I thought I had all girls - but I'm not so sure...
I only had one light brown leghorn live out of 4 so I don't have anything to compare to. It is 22 weeks old and it doesn't crow.
Is this a roo???:|
So... I have 7 22 week old chickens- (no eggs yet -BOO!)
They have an enclosed and covered run that is about 6 feet wide by 10 feet long and 7 feet tall - and a small coop with 2 laying boxes and room for all 7 chickens - (They used to sleep inside every night when they were smaller)
They...
Okay... so we are 17 weeks old today - I just finished fixing the nesting boxes - Please- O- Please be early layers!!!!! I think I am more egg obsessed than I was baby chick obsessed! lol:D
So just how much are 17 week old chicks supposed to eat???
I am talking 7 hens.
Mine eat everything in site - feed - treats - bugs.... DH called me at work last weekend to ask where i put the new 40 lb bag of feed ( I just swapped them to eggmaker from chick starter cause we have no in...
when i take the new babies ( 2 weeks old) outside in their pen they paly like crazy - today (their 3rd trip out ) they learned how to take dirt baths.
My question is when then hut an area of sunlight -they lay down immediately and go to their sides??? this is cute i just wondered why they do it?
ok so i lost my runt yesterday at 11 days old -
today another of my light brown leghorn girls is acting strange.
(I did separate the sick one as soon as i realized it was sick).
This one is one of my bigger girls - she lays around and seems weak her neck will go to the side - she will...
My chicks are now 8 days old and I have 1 light brown leghorn that was small to begin with but has been doing ok. Tonight she started acting strange - not moving alot, breathing hard at times and the others were running over her. No pasty butt - I check them several times a day.She eats and...
